Chatsworth razor - how do you hold it?

My favourite razor - using it for the 30 Day Rule - is my EJ Chatsworth chrome . Its balance is just right for my hand.

I hold the razor between thumb and forefinger at the point of balance and use my little finger and the one adjacent, one in front, one behind, to guide it/maintain angle round my face. This later is hardly used at all because the razor follows the contours, pivotting at the point of balance - I guess I use them more for stability.

For my education - what is 'barley' about these razors? English Shaving sheds no light.
